The local foods movement is alive and well in Champaign County! Here are some updates on other projects while we finalize our virtual market:
Local Producers Map:
Our local producers map is ready for publication and you will soon be able to find it on gochampaign.com. Copies will be distributed around the community, in the local telephone book, and other “hangouts”. The guide lists the location and contact information for nearly 50 local producers within our county. The map was a project of the Local Food Council and printed with the help of some local sponsors including the Monument Square District, Champaign Bank, the Community Improvement Corporation, the Chamber of Commerce, the Farm Bureau and others. It is a great start to finding a local source for Champaign County’s finest!
Everyone jump for joy!

If you needed something to be excited about this rainy Wednesday, I’ve got it! The market closed last night with one of our biggest weeks yet! We added new vendors who I’ll brag about later today and awesome new customers too! We couldn’t be happier that the market continues to grow and support our wonderful communities! Even better, the customers gain more options to eat healthier while the growers continue to be financially rewarded for their hard work! Thanks to everyone for working together on such a great common goal!
